Putin Says He Gave Order to Shoot Down Plane in 2014

Source: CNN

CNN) — Russia's Vladimir Putin ordered the downing of a passenger plane that had reportedly been overtaken by hijackers planning to target the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014, the President said in a new film.

In a two-hour documentary titled "Putin" that was posted on social media on Sunday, the Russian President said he was told about the impending attack moments before the Games were due to start.

But the threat turned out to be a false alarm, Putin said, and the plane was not shot down.

The documentary's release comes amid a wave of flattering pre-election coverage of the President, and details moments intended to show off Putin's heroism. In addition to the episode with the plane, Putin also said in the film that his helicopter reportedly came under fire over Chechnya in 2000, according to the state-run Sputnik news agency.

Best Movie Villians of all time..

Special kudos to Scorpio for the idea. (from his discussion of "Black Panther" villain)

It doesn't matter what kind of film ( must be a full length movie) or date. It cannot be a person that lived and was real, but a made up villain. I will give two: Witch from "Snow White" Evil banker from "Its A Wonderful Life." Mr Potter , played by, Lionel Barrymore

Why this question? A great villain draws contrast to the hero, no matter who he/she is. Just an example: General Zod in Superman 2 is pretty evil and that evil contrasts well to Superman.

Is the "Shape of Water" up beat? Can someone walk out feeling good?

Thank You for answering. I don't like going to sad movies.

Anyone remember "cigarette commercials?...I remember just one..

"Winston tastes good like a cigarette should"........................I had better check you tube....?

yep...here are a few.....................................haven't looked at them yet... interesting..????

Florida Republicans reject 2 year moratorium on sale of AR -15 assault rifles. 3/2/18

Please, pass this on to everyone in the United States. This vote could sway a lot of people to vote for the Democratic Party. It is simple, clear, makes clear who the culprit is: The Republican Party. This is a reliable source (Tampa Bay Times) .. and is on the record. They rejected a 2 year moratorium. This is today. 3/2/18...

If we need proof where the Republican Party stands on gun control, this is it...pass it on
.............................YES, THIS IS THE PROOF......

This is not about banning all guns. This is about a 2 year moratorium on sale of the AR -15.
_______________________________________________________________________________________

In a surprise move, senators briefly approved and then rejected a two-year moratorium on sale of AR-15 assault rifles, the type used in the Feb. 14 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

The unexpected action came on an unrecorded voice vote at which senators shout “yea” or “nay,” and it was overturned a short time later by a roll call vote of 21-17. All no votes were Republicans.

I saw a brand new word today...."bombogenesis" ..this word is in the following sentence:

5th paragraph, in the CNN story about the storm, at this ling:
https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/03/us/weather-bomb-cyclone/index.html


The storm morphed into a "bomb cyclone" after undergoing the so-called bombogenesis Friday, slamming much of the Northeast with heavy snow and rain. Significant coastal flooding and even hurricane-force winds hit New England.


___________________________________________________________________________________
Google defined it this way:..........

Bombogenesis is a popular term that describes a midlatitude cyclone that rapidly intensifies. Fourteen of 20 hurricane-force wind events underwent bombogenesis in the North Atlantic during the first two months of 2014.

............butter is better....At age 3 or 4 my brother was a baby and I wanted to eat his baby food..you know..sugar?? It ain't like booze............."don't drink that, that is for adults!!
But, when you are 5...you have a "Birthday Party"...and you have "Birthday Cake"..with frosting on it...

You wonder how people get hooked on sugar?...well if you really like the frosting, and it tastes so good..really good, and you want more...you could already be hooked. Try salt without the popcorn?..Try pizza tell them to make it without salt?..how meat..no salt please. get the picture?? or am I just plain old salt and sugar addict??
